so all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1 LESLIE G. -WISWELL, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica and resident of Chicago, Illinois, have iurented a certain newand useful Improvement in Record-Disk Holders, of which the following isa specification.

My invention relates to a'holder for mile ing machine record disks orother similar fiat articles.

it relates more particularly to e hos Within which the phonograph recorddisks can be held in such a manner that there is no liability tofracture or other injury, In holders for this purpose it is dcsi'ahle tokeep the records in such a position that they are readily accessible andcan be suitably indexed so that any desired selection can readily befound, and also to have the records so held that they will not be liablio'tnre hycoming in contactxvitheach ot These and other obj ets ereobtain. m invention, which will. he more rlez ii nderstood by referenceto the aecoinpnn drawings, in which,

is e View of my 1111-- pr'ovod hold :0. 2 is a seotionalview iakeu online 2;2 oi? 1, looking in direction of the arrows. Fig. 3 z tionel Viewtaken on line 3---3 of F looking in the direction of the arrows.

-11 is a detail view of a portion of on the sheets of paper which areplaced between the disks.

As shown in the drawings, my invention eomprises rectangular hoxshapedholder 5 la'ving a hinged opening or door 6 end thereof, which door hasan extent Y which in closed position is adapted to extend along port ofone side of the box and to in-- iQZlOGli" with the same. A hook S orother suitable fastening device is employed to loelr the cover in closedposition, as will be readily understood. Located inside of the box andextending transversely and across the bottom thereof, as clearly shownin 9 and 3, there is a triangular stop 9, and also a second stop 10which is usually slightly lower than the first stop. The use of thesestops Will hereinafter be more parioularly pointed out. Suitable sheetsof paper 12 or other similar material out to so proximate the interiorof the sides of the K, and alsoindexed in the manner clearly 1 over,pre'vl-iuls ll SllOWIl in Fig. 1, are inserted within the box.

placed lietwem'i and rest for IC- Jrds he held 1 re various she tsholder while the s I p 10 prevents from accident-ally rolling: out offwhen not h the a the cover is opened, but this h enough to interferewith the ready :al of these disks when it is de- G. to take them outshown in Fig. 1, it is desirableto en ti der: upon the ins'de of the Wi1any the names of the selections rez'arflily lined, rill hue ll'e seenhat I have devised a, cl? 'rnl; record .slr holder, in which the libnbare held in se arale compartments, and from which they can he readilywith (.lran'u and also provide a simple and eill clout indexing ans. Byhaving the sheets Within the casing by means of paper .lortgd of thetriangular stop, as shove described, wluoh would be l. overcome the ohjiWithout this sto r, as otherwise in empties lo grasp a: record one might'l'wul tz' hold of the intervening sheet so withdraw this sheet from ofpaper and Lelween the: disks" The ocking means, hoW- llS. Li W132 byhaving the boa; or llOl 'Iltl' open one end, it is yossihle to stack 2:.plurality of boxes in a row and then, to oit disk desired, it is not neel "Withdraw the individual holder Loni the row, but to merely pull thesame forward a very short distance so tl'lattlie end cover can beopened, and then. the proper disk can be Withdrawn.

Whst I claim as my invention is:

.l. In a holes for talking machine record disks or the like, arectangular-shaped box having on opening at one end thereof, a pluralityof sheets of paper or the like Within said receptacle between which thedisks are adapted to be held, and a stop for partially preventing thewithdrawal of said disks.

2. In a holder "for talking machine record disks or the like, arectangular-shaped box having an opening at one end thereof, a pluralityof sheets of paper or the like within said receptacle between which thedisks are adapted to be held, a stop for holding said sheets within theholder and for partially preventing the withdrawal of said disks.

In a. holder for talking machine record disks or the like, arectangular-shaped box having an opening at one end thereof, a pluralityof sheets of paper or the like Within said receptacle between which thedisks are adapted to be held, a triangular-shaped projection extendingalong one side of said box and a corresponding indentation in saidsheets to hold the same within the casing. 1-. In a holder for talkingmachine record disks or the like, a rectangular-shaped box having anopening at one end thereof, a plurality of sheets of paper or-the likeWithin said receptacle between which the disks are adapted to be held, astop to prevent said disks from passing back too-far within said holder,and a second stop to partially prevent the Withdrawal of said disks.

-5. In a holder for record disks or the like, a box having a covertorone end thereof, said cover having an extension which in closed positionextends over part of one side of said box, and interlocks with saidside, a plurality of sheets oi? paper or the like within said box,between which the record disks are adapted to be held, said sheetshaving suitable indexes, and a pair of stops in said box to prevent saiddisks from entering too far within said receptacle and also to.
